Nexen Tire Supplies Original Equipment Tires for SEAT 'Leon'

Supply of Enblue S to 'Leon' Vehicles

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Nexen Tire announced on the 26th that it will supply the Enblue S to the Spanish automobile manufacturer SEAT's 'Leon' vehicle.

The Leon is SEAT's representative best-selling model, having sold over 2 million units since its first launch in 1999. Based on the Volkswagen Group's MQB platform, it boasts balanced driving performance and efficiency.

The Nexen Tire 'Enblue S' supplied to the Leon is a tire suitable for eco-friendly and high-performance vehicles, minimizing tire rolling resistance in response to Europe's strengthened carbon dioxide regulations. It is the company's first to apply sidewall aerodynamics to reduce vehicle noise and improve fuel efficiency, reducing not only the fuel efficiency rating but also driving noise, which is one of the standards of European environmental regulations. In particular, compared to existing products, its simple groove design improves high-speed water drainage and wet braking performance.

Meanwhile, Nexen Tire continues to expand its product supply to global automakers including SEAT, Porsche, Volkswagen, ?koda, Renault, FCA, and Mitsubishi.
